51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

I see that Ludwik Finkelstein of City 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ London has died (Obituary, 29 September). I have a Finkelstein story.

He was at a meeting in Wales, and introductions were being made.

"This is Mr Evans, Mr Williams, Mr Evans, Mr Davies and Mr Jones..."

"My name's Finkelstein," he said.

"Oh, you must be English."

Farewell, English Finkelstein; you did well.

Ian Smalley, Professor of geography, 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Leicester
